Should You Start or Sit Collins in Week 10?
Davis Mills’ first completion last week was a 26-yarder to Nico Collins, and six of his 10 first-half connections went to Houston’s WR1.
And then, nothing.
In consecutive games, Collins has been shut out in the second half, an odd quirk that is probably more of a QB stat than a WR stat (22 routes, six targets, zero receptions).
Moving the chains is a struggle for this offense. They can’t block and thus can’t run the ball. Without any fear of balance, this allows defenses to ramp up the aggression, and, regardless of who is under center, that’s a tough spot to be in.
Collins is probably one of the 10 most gifted receivers in the sport, and his raw talent combined with scripts that are clearly built around passes being thrown his direction keep him as a lineup lock in all formats, even if the ceiling is far lower than what I had penciled in this summer.
He accounted for 104 of Houston’s 204 receiving yards in the Week 3 meeting with these Jaguars and should again be weighed down with as many looks as he can handle (30.6% target share in that contest).
